Myleene Klass looks casually chic in a black tank top and green cargo trousers as she heads to work

She’s been heading to work every day as she continues to host her Smooth Radio show amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

And Myleene Klass put on a casually chic display as she made her way to Global Radio studios in London on Tuesday.

The former Hear’Say star, 42, looked stunning in a black tank top that had a lace trim along the neckline, which she paired with olive green cargo trousers.

Adding a punk chic flair to her ensemble, Myleene stepped out in a pair of black combat boots, while she held her light-wash denim jacket in her hands.

Myleene accessorised the look by wearing silver hoop earrings and an array of matching necklaces, while she shielded her eyes with a pair of silver-rimmed shades.

Her brunette locks were styled into loose waves that fell over her shoulders elegantly, and she used a natural palette of make-up to highlight her pretty features. 

Last week, Myleene detailed the shocking physical and verbal racial abuse she experienced in her childhood and the prevalent prejudice she still witnesses.

The TV and radio star, who was born in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, to an Austrian father and a Filipino mother, revealed she is struggling to explain racism to her children amid the Black Lives Matter movement following the murder of unarmed black man George Floyd.

Floyd died last month after a white police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes in Minneapolis, prompting a wave of protests. 

In her impassioned post, the mother-of-three listed some of the horrendous slurs she has faced over the years, with a shocking list reading: ‘Chink. Slit eye. Number 69, Fried rice. Mongrel. Ping pong. Slut. All Tai girls are sluts. Banana’.  

Myleene is a parent to Ava, 12, Hero, nine, from her relationship with her ex Graham Quinn and Apollo, 10 months, with her current partner Simon Motson, 45. 

She attended Notre Dame High School, Norwich, but transferred to the Cliff Park Ormiston Academy in Gorleston-on-Sea, to complete secondary school.  

The former Hear’Say singer opened the post with explaining what she is working to do by revealing the struggles she has faced in her past. She wrote: ‘I’m trying so hard to explain the complexities of racism to my children. How it happens…

‘How whilst I don’t understand the struggles a black person living in America might be experiencing, how I do understand and know my own experience of being a mixed race Filipino girl growing up in Norfolk…’ 

‘I had those words thrown at me. On other occasions, it wasn’t just words, it was rock filled snowballs by a group of boys as I walked home, I had my hair cut in the school cloakrooms by some girls, later they threatened a lighter…

‘There was spitting. “Why does your mum speak like that? Why don’t you have an accent?” I was born here. “Yeah, but you don’t belong here”…  

‘I also remember the pride and relief I felt when a bus of school children, aged 10 pulled up next to my own bus and the children opposite all started making “Chinese eyes and buck teeth” to then have my own bus retaliate with fist signs and fingers…

‘It was small “victory”, I felt embarrassed, hot, shamed but I remember it so well because for the first time, I didn’t feel alone, I had a small token of solidarity that gave me courage.’
